I have been on dozens of tours in the past ten years. Some of them very adventurous. This however tops the list. My son and I took the tour, he is 25 and I am 70. The trip is through a cave with a river running through it. You swim a very adventurous river for about 45 minutes after climbing a very stony partial path up a steep grade for about an hour. I live in Florida and zero altitude. This tour is thousands of feet above sea level....making breathing difficult. When you exit the cave, you are 15 feet above a river that you climb down to on a rope type ladder.
At the bottom, you are shown to a rope anchored on both sides of the river. You are required to hand over hand pull yourself across the river. Our tour guide did NOT join us on the tour, and no one else spoke English. This tour is recommended for athletic, very adventurous people under 50. It was the experience of a lifetime, but also very intimidating.
